A Community to talk about Music from the Australian perspective.

Telling stories of Australia through music.

With few exceptions, Australian acts are permitted to have one hit in the US charts, then fall out of the international limelight.

Those acts however often have lots of other cool songs!

There are also several Australian acts that just aren't famous globally.

I have this album playing in the background at work right now. It's probably about the last physical CD I bought. I bought it at one of their gigs at the Corner Hotel about 15 years ago. I think a couple of them even autographed it.

If you remember these guys from the 80's/90's, you'll remember them as a fairly energetic rock band. This CD is something of a greatest hits, but acoustic version. It is basically just the guys sitting around in one of their houses, chilling and playing their songs unplugged. You can really picture a bunch of muso mates sitting around in a circle and jamming for fun with big grins on their faces.

You get a new appreciation of their talent as their songs are stripped right back and re-assembled. I love it! I'd love the perspective of someone who doesn't know their music.

They really are. The gig I went to was great - with Taxiride opening.

Oh look! They're playing at the Corner Hotel again this Sunday! Pity the gig is sold out.
